The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

MUGM Miami University Invertebrate Paleontology Collection

The Invertebrate Paleontology collection of Miami University’s Karl E. Limper Geology Museum are maintained to supplement and complement the major invertebrate fossil collections in North American museums and universities. This collection comprises over 12,000 specimen lots of Late Ordovician marine invertebrate fossils from southwestern Ohio, southeastern Indiana, and north-central Kentucky. Most of these specimens were collected by William H. Shideler and later Miami University paleontologists, but the collection also includes specimens collected by 19th Century avocational paleontologists.
